the Realm will be silent no longer!

[jokespoorly]

Keepin' up the good fight!

Oh dear....

...this is going to get interesting.

Define interesting.

Yes, my Browncoat is showing.

Ok... so here are the quotes. We don't really know how soon this dialogue shows up, but who says what? Rampant speculation time...

There is a fine line between fury and evil. Find it. And never cross it again or I'll cut you down, myself.

Ears? Forgath?

There's nothing I wouldn't protect you from, Dies.

Ears... Oh gods, Ears. What have you done?

GAP

No! you walk on that side of the hallway, I walk on this side! / I'm bigger than you!, I need more room!

Minmax?

Your side is way bigger than mine! / Oh this is such crap! Complains, tell him that this is such crap!

Ears?

This is such cr... sigh... Y'know what, I... I can't do this. You work it out for yourselves.

Thaco should be the new chief.

Ears?

The hell he should!

Thaco?

When the serpent becomes his prey, friends will become enemies and love will fuel hate. Oh gods Minmax. I'm so sorry.

Kin. Or Forgath?

Hello, Father.

[Wolfie]

Fine line between fury and evil - Ears. That is such a Paladin line (and sounds like it's to Complains)

The hallway argument is probably between Minmax, Ears, and Complains (duh).

[Kamos]

It's bound to be either Complains or even Minmax. Complains makes more sense just given the way it's worded seems like a caution from a friend.

[Glemp]

I'm also fairly sure that the fury comment is being made by Ears (a paladin, thus one knowing of evil) to Complains (who has a serious anger issue when dealing with trauma). I imagine that Complains has a Sand People moment at some point.

[speakslittle]

1: ZOMBQ!#$%!%!!!$#!#@$!#$ YES!!!!

2:
A line between Fury and Evil: Sounds like stone cold Ears. 2 barbarians available. Either would make sense. Names has the demon blood, and we just saw the first manifestation of it. Perhaps he becomes increasingly aggressive?

The prophecy...I don't know. Obviously, we're hoping for like, Kin to wake up. But Forgath would make sense as well, if he has a relationship with Kore.

I could see the argument being Minmax and Vorpal.

[Krulle]

Forgath

More like Thaco's swords...

Although, that goes more like Shiinng.. (1, 2)

Correct you are... it's been a few months since I had to know IME colors precisely.

[YardMeat]

Well, I'm sticking to my bet that Kore is the last of the Greyhill Paladins. However, the "Klik-Whiirrr" in the top left hand corner has me leaning towards him being taken over by a klik-like being (either already or some time in the future). We've seen a "kwwiirrrrr" sound from him before.

[zylph]

I've been lurking on these boards for ages. Figured I should say something and this seems like the best time to do so...

Welcome back Thunt! Glad you are bringing your excellent art and storytelling back. I hope you and your family are doing well (and know there are so many folks out here that are willing to lend you support however we can ... in other words, you got shoulders to lean on if you need them).

September 17 seems so far off, but it just means we have 5 days to speculate about the teaser and the sound effects.

Like Kore assimilates Forgath and begins hunting Kin, turning Minmax against Forgath and his love for Kin fueling his hatred for Kore ... someone tell me I am wrong ... I so want to be wrong.

[Banderwock]

Hooray! Congrats on reaching this point in your recovery! And also more comics! Welcome back!

Also, might be just me (or deliberate for the moment), but after finally starting to use an rss feed a few weeks ago, it didn't update for the new Goblins page. Fortunately, I guess I'm lucky, because typing "go-" autocompleted and took me here instead of google.

[Amara]

Sept17? Wow, something POSITIVE on my birthday to look forward to. o-o

[Biscuit]

There is a fine line between fury and evil. Find it. And never cross it again or I'll cut you down, myself.

Big Ears or Thaco to Minmax?

There's nothing I wouldn't protect you from, Dies.

Saves a Fox?

Ears... Oh gods, Ears. What have you done?

Shit is about to go down I think this is Thaco or Complains

No! you walk on that side of the hallway, I walk on this side! / I'm bigger than you!, I need more room!

Minmax and Thaco

Your side is way bigger than mine! / Oh this is such crap! Complains, tell him that this is such crap!

Same as above

This is such cr... sigh... Y'know what, I... I can't do this. You work it out for yourselves.

Same as above

Thaco should be the new chief.

Big Ears or Complains?

The hell he should!

Minmax?

When the serpent becomes his prey, friends will become enemies and love will fuel hate. Oh gods Minmax. I'm so sorry.

Kin, I think.

Hello, Father.

Junior, obviously.

[SamWiser]

Everybody thinks the Fury and Evil line is Big Ears, but it sounds like Thaco to me. Ears never seemed like a stone-cold killer to me, despite his Paladin status, so moving right to killing seems a little out of character. Thaco, on the other hand, has never had a big problem with killing people, and it totally seems like something he would say.

Yes, I think so too. The "I will cut you down myself" part really sounds like something Complains or Thaco would have said. And the Fury and Evil Line sounds like Ears or Thaco. So Thaco is the most likely.

[SyntheticPhylum]

Yay! Welcome back!

[Aegis J Hyena]

I dunno about that, Biscuit... there's that "my god Ears, what have you done" line later, which makes me think he ends up losing his paladin status later (though for laughs I wanna see him go Blackguard)

[RocketScientist]

It sounds just like Ears to me.

Right now you have a magically sharpened axe pressed carefully but sternly at the base of your throat. It's there because you've annoyed me. What do you think will happen if you make me angry?

[The Rotting King]

PUMPED.

Things are going to get real.
The possibility of more "noisy round spirits" especially interests me. I wonder if they had something to do with the extermination of the Roaks, because I'm still curious about that. It seems like it would take something majorly powerful, like an army of Kliks, to wipe out a tribe of people just as or nearly as badass as Biscuit. I still like the idea that Hawl was one of their distant descendants or something and had Klik just laying around gathering dust.

I completely forgot about that line. That's why I shouldn't debate Goblins when I haven't reread it in a long time, I forget things. I suppose it could be Ears, but I still think Thaco is a pretty good contender for the line as well. If the Hyena is correct, it could be Thaco saying that to Ears after he does something that causes him to loose his paladin status.

[Catmandont]

Oh dear....

...this is going to get interesting.

Define interesting.

Oh god, oh god, we're all going to die?

[Halttzoid]

Thaco should be the new chief.

Complains?

The hell he should!

Ears?

I don't know, it seemed like this could be possible.

I mean Ears is still grieving for Chief and there is only one Chief for him. Appointing a new chief would somehow mock his memory. Something along those lines... anyone?

Love reading the speculations/speculating the comic again!

Welcome back!

[Chasm]

Okay, I'm officially gonna need a new pair of pants.

Welcome back, THunt ! And curse you for making me so excited about the story again ! I'll never be able to sleep now ! Yay !
